Emergency leak investigation, main water supply isolation, extraction of rodent-damaged pipework, new washing machine isolation valve installation, and full pressure testing at 73 Lady Bailey Residential Park, Winterborne Whitechurch.
Our plumbing engineer attended 73 Lady Bailey Residential Park, Winterborne Whitechurch, Blandford Forum, Dorset (DT11 0HS) to investigate a reported water leak originating from the main supply pipe feeding the washing machine.
Upon inspection of the concealed pipework, we discovered that the supply pipe had been severely damaged by rodent activity (rat), which had chewed through the pipe material and created a hole, causing an active mains-pressure leak.
Attended the property to trace the reported leak behind the appliance and identified a puncture in the washing machine feed pipe caused by rodent chewing.
Temporarily shut off the main incoming water supply to depressurise the line and safely carry out the repair work without further water escape.
Cut out and removed the rodent-damaged section of pipework, replaced it with fresh piping, and installed a brand-new washing machine isolation valve.
Restored the main water supply and thoroughly tested the new installation under full working pressure. Confirmed with the customer present that there were no further leaks and the system was operating correctly.
